WebGazer.js is a JavaScript eye tracking library that uses a standard webcam to predict a user's gaze location on a web page in real time. It self-calibrates from user interactions like clicks and cursor movements, runs entirely client-side, and integrates into any website with a few lines of code.
Use cases
- track where users look on a web page using only a webcam
- build gaze-controlled browser games or interfaces
- run usability studies measuring user attention without special eye tracking hardware
- add self-calibrating gaze prediction to a website with a few lines of JavaScript
- process webcam video locally in the browser without sending data to a server
- evaluate webcam eye tracker accuracy against a benchmark dataset
When to avoid
- you need research-grade gaze accuracy from a dedicated eye tracker
- you require guaranteed ongoing updates or official support, since maintenance has ended
- your target users cannot grant webcam access or use unsupported browsers
